Even before we listed the house, I planned to use and borrow from what we already had as much as possible. I also knew that I wanted versatile pieces that could grow with the child or be moved to other rooms later on. Most of the items in this set are simply placeholders. Feel free to view the sources on polyvore, but don't for a minute think that I spent this kind of $$.

Sources:

Black Crib- Garage Sale (spray painted)

Wooden Dresser- Craigslist (similar)

Bentwood Rocker- Craigslist

Brass Lamp- Goodwill (similar)

Velvet Drapes- Pottery Barn (purchased long ago)

Jute Rug- RugsUSA (purchased long ago)

Moroccan Rug- RugsUSA (one of the only new, significant purchases for the room)

Is this not the cutest mobile you've ever seen? Made from felt (with lines sewn on to look like notebook paper) and wire. As much as I would love to plop down $58 and as much as I am sure the craftsmanship justifies it, it is simply not in my budget. So... I will try my hand at making my own. Hopefully I will get around to showing you how it turns out.
